Krishna Das, a prominent figure in modern spirituality, has had a profound and lasting impact on the hearts and minds of contemporary seekers, particularly in the Western world. As a devoted follower of the renowned North Indian Saint, Neem Karoli Baba, also affectionately referred to as Maharajji, Krishna Das has played a significant and influential role in popularizing the traditional practice of kirtan, a call-and-response chanting technique that originated in India. By taking this ancient practice out of its traditional settings within yoga centers and temples and introducing it to concert halls and other non-traditional venues, Krishna Das has earned himself a reputation as a worldwide icon and the best-selling Western chant artist of all time, making him a household name among spiritual seekers and enthusiasts of Eastern spirituality.
Krishna Das has had a career spanning over two decades, marked by the release of an impressive sixteen full-length albums, which have effectively served as a welcoming entry point to the devotional traditions of the East.
As he navigated his journey, he transformed into an approachable and somewhat unassuming teacher, as well as a spiritual confidant to many.
Traversing the globe, he shares his kirtan practice and recounts the stories of his life on the Path, and passionately advocates for incorporating regular spiritual practice into our daily lives through retreats and workshops.
Throughout the unprecedented and far-reaching COVID-19 pandemic, Krishna Das has persevered in his dedication to sharing the transformative power of chant, steadfastly maintaining a weekly online presence that has served as a beacon of solace, unity, and spiritual connection for his global community of satsang devotees.
